The meeting was used to provide updates on the work done by the FMO over
the last year as well as a review of their budget and spending.

Also presenting to the audience was Commander of the local police
constabulary, Bill Knopp. He provided a presentation on the CTS bill and his strategy for
delivering security to the community. His emphasis was on making clear that the bill was
about safeguarding vulnerable people and not spying on communities. The presentation raised
a healthy and productive debate on the concerns the Muslim communities have over the
implementation of the bill.

Masjid At-Taqwa is a participating member of the FMO and continues to
provide its active support towards the promotion of collaborating to do good for the
community of Leicester.
